White Solid & White Pearl.

I know because I imported a batch in. The white pearl is a nice color. I wish they brought that color into the states. Its a white with blue sparkles.
Wow, owned.

still looks good though, but if you look at a lot of cars even from factory the bumper is always slightly different in color.

When I painted cars it was a 50/50 chance that when you mix up the paint on the code it would match exactly. We would have to adjust the formula to get a good match. Most of the time if the damage is far enoug from the next panal we could bleand it in. But if you have two panals that have differnt batches of base it is not going to match more times then not. White is one of the worst color to match. Because it dosent take much to change. To be honest I havent seen a Evo yet tha I did not see a differnce between the fenders and doors because of the fenders being alluminum and the doors are not. But I painted cars for so long I can see what most cant.
Very true. I can't speak for other paint lines, but with the R-M line that I use, we can blend through the middle of a panel with no evidence of a blend. A job like that would be roughly $250-300. Full panel paint for both quarters and rear bumper would be closer to $900-1000. Food for thought if you are not able resolve this with the company you got it from.

Unmatched or matched color still looks better than stock rear IMO.
